I was looking forward to my new pump, to many little things gave me problems. Gaskets do not fit right, plug for bottom of pump drain came cross threaded and leaks. The clamps it came with will not work on the vacuum hose to suction side of pump. I will tell my friends not to buy from Rual King.

This is the worst pump imagnineable. The instructions are impossible to read and tell you virtually nothing about the pump. Has next to 0 suction on it and won't the pump hose won't properly tighten. Rural King you should sell only American products that actually work with real instructions that help.

Bought it and took it to my rural property to pump down a pond it ran a total of 20 minutes and wouldn't start again. When I came home took it back to RK for a replacement and was told by the manager that they would have their backroom mechanic attempt to fix it first before they could exchange it. Don't waste your money or a weekend like I have.

Good pump for the money, wished it was availbale in the stores and not just online to save on shipping. I did have to take the flyweel off and reset it but it started right up and pumped out a 1/4 acre pond with it. Plan to use it to pump it back up once the pond is repaired.

Pump not as pictured for stock #. We purchased a 7hp pump. Starts each time on first pull. Still going strong! Came with filter & clamps. Returned 2 pumps from competitor that was total junk. If you want a good reliable pump at a reasonable price, buy this pump!

I had purchased 2 different size pumps from R.K. competitor, had to return would not run then seized up. After reading these reviews I thought I'd give it a try. Glad I did! Started up first pull and has been running with no problems for 2 straight days. I am using this to add water back into my 2 acre pond. The pump has already brought it up several inches! I prefer the engine design of this one also. The oil drain plug is in a better position to access, easier to change the oil. It is recommended to change oil after 20 hrs. of use where the competitor is after 5 hrs. of use. This is a superior pump by far!

This Chinese made pump is very superior to the US made pump that uses Briggs & Stratton motor. This TWP gas tank is over the carburetor, starts first pull almost always. B&G carb sets over gas tank and when cold must suck up gas requiring many pulls before gas is sucked up to start. As much as I hate to support Chinese made tools, this pump works great, I have two of them. The Briggs & Stratton pump is going to scrap iron dealer.

We have conservatively pumped over a million gallons with this pump. The engine still starts on the first pull. We have run leaves, frogs, and darn near everything else imaginable through the pump and it is still going strong. I plan to buy one just for a backup in case we finally abuse this one to death.

Mine started on the first pull, runs like the much higher priced one.
I will look for this pump next time I need one.
